It answers so many purposes so exceptionally well that no iarm should lack one. More than likely you have a neld that has been well cultivated, and is so loose as not to require plowing before planting the second crop, or the soil of some field may be loose and sandy and does not need to be plowed to make a good seed bed for grain or other crops. Then the disk harrow is just the tool to use for stirring up the ground before sowing. Single disking maybe sufficient, but it is usually best to lap half. If gram, cowpeas, soy beans or other seed is to be broadcasted, there IS nothing better, in the absence of the drill, than the disk harrow for covering the seed. This may be done on plowed ground or when disking the second time on loose soil. The cutting action of the disk harrow makes it an excellent tool to use after the stalk cutter for cutting corn and cotton stalks into smaller bits. It will cut up trash and manure so that the soil will lay compact when plowed and not dry out so readily. Making a cotton seed bed with the Cotton Kinu disl< harrow €©¥T©M raM6 mmm eame© Gangs arranged for out-throw and ex- tended to the ends of the frame As a weeder before sowing, there is no equal to the disk harrow. It up-roots and turns under weeds, leaving a clean seed bed for the crop that is to be planted. Cloddy plowing should always be cut up with a disk harrow to make a good seed bed. This will fill in the large air spaces in the top of the furrow which permit the ground to dry out quickly. If disked before plowing, the bottom of the furrow will also be compact, and moisture from below will be carried into the top sou by the same process through which a sponge becomes wet above the surface of water with which it may come in contact. When cotton ridges are to be made, the gangs are set for in-throw, with space enough between to properly ridge the ground. The inner ends of the gangs should be slightly higher than the outer ends. With the Cotton King thus arranged, cotton ridges can be thrown up quickly and in better shape than by the old, hand method, requiring many men. When it becomes necessary to cultivate the cotton, dirt can be thrown toward or away from the plants and the field leveled for the next crop. Tall cotton can be cultivated by using the extension standards, which may be purchased with the harrow or added at any time. The Cotton King is also an excellent corn cultivator. It may __^_ be equipped with shields for use in young corn, and with the extension standards for cultivating larger corn. It serves the purpose of a hiller for use in cultivating peanuts or potatoes. The Cotton King is further useful in filling dead furrows, leveling back fur- rows and lister ridges, making and clean- ing out irrigation ditches or filling them. This great variety ot work, to which the reversible gang disk harrow is particularly adapted, commends the Cotton King to the southern planter and farmer as the most valuable tillage tool he can own. ^^Mmm"^ Cultivating large cotton plants with the Cotton Kins coTTOM mm^ mi^c GanKs arranged for in-throw and extended on the frame as when used for making cotton ridges Main Frame 1 ne Lotton King main frame is Duilt ot angle steel. Two angle bars extend across the rear ana meet the ends of tne front section, where they are hot-riveted. They form a long slot through which the gang castings are bolted and can be adjusted. The frame is strengthened by the steel pole angles across the center. These pole angles take either a wood pole or the disk harrow forecarriage. Adjustments Each gang is pivoted m an adjustable ganj casting. This makes it reversible with the added feature of raising the inner ends of the gangs or lowering them. When the gangs are to be extended, the bolts are loosened and the gang castings pushed to the desired position. In tightening the bolts, whatever tilt is desired may be given the gangs. When reversing the gangs, the set-lever bars are removed, tbe gangs turned around, and the bars replaced. The draft links connect the front of tbe frame with the center of the gangs. This makes the draft direct at whatever position tbe gangs are set along the frame. The set-levers are convenient to the driver no matter how tbe gangs are set. The seat is adjustable on the seat spring, making it possible to The Cotton King used in cultivating com balance the harrow with drivers of different weight. ^"^^ I i ^1 i 1^^ f^iB»5J;^^SS J €©TT©M mm(^ mmm m.Ammo F the frame and holds the harrow to drawing steadily Gangs Heavy bar steel Is used to form the gang frames. These are solidly bolted together, making the gangs rigid to withstand work in hard ground. The disks are assembled on a large, square arbor bolt which passes through bearings between the disks. This distributes the strain to several bearings, reducing the wear on each. The large nut on the end of the arbor bolt is turned up tight, then locked in place. The holes through the disks are square so none can turn on the bolt. Bearings The bearings are made up of a large bearing spool turning in an oil-soaked, hardwood bushing. The greater wear comes on the upper half of this bushing When worn, it may be exchanged with the lower half. The hardwood bush- ings are inexpensive to renew. Oil pipes enter the top of each bear- ing at the center. This places the oil where the whole bearing is readily lubri- cated. Theoil pipes reach tothetopof the gang frame where dirt will not fall into them when oiling. Steel pins in the top ot the oil pipes prevent dust from entering. Dirt cannot fall in the oil pipes when oiling An unassembled bearing showing that wood bushings are reversible €©T¥©]M MM^ mV. The Cotton King Used as a Cultivator For smothering weeds between the rows no cultivator can be said to excel the Cotton King disk harrow. Weeds and grass are cut o{{ and turned over with roots towards the sun. The rows are hilled, or not, according to how the gangs are set. When hilling, only mellow, pulverized dirt is thrown around the plants. The amount of dirt thrown can be regulated by the set-levers or gangs set at dinerent posi- tions along the frame. Extension Standards For cultivating tall crops the extention standards, as shown in the illustration above, will be furnished on special order. These standards are curved steel bars which hold the frame high enough above the ground so that tall corn and cotton may be cultivated without damage to the tops of plants. Shields For cultivating plants when they are small, shields may be used on the Cotton King disk harrow to prevent dirt being thrown upon them. These hields are easily attached and are large enough to fully protect the plants. They are furnished on special order at additional cost.

It is to free the horses of this action of the tongue and varying draft of the disk harrow that this forecarriage is being purchased with most of the disk harrows sold, or for disk harrows already in field use. It keeps the harrow running smoothly and in line, and makes it easier to work into corners and close to fences. Forecarriage with pole and set-over irons, showing positions for two or three horses Used with or without a Pole The forecarriage is used with or without a pole. A pole is essential only in very hilly sections of the country when driving to or from fields. It is regularly equipped with pole plates for two horses when a tongue is ordered. Set-over irons for three horses are special pole equipment. When a pole with set-over irons is used it may be set in the center for two horses, or to the right or left for three horses. The wheels turn completely under the stub tongue to make a short turn. Adjusting the Forecarriage to the Harrow and Team The disk harrow forecarriage should be adjusted to simply carry the front end of the barrow and keep it working in line without adding to the The forecarriage is swiveled in the draft of the implement. The stub touguc and the draft connection are axle to follow^thejnevenness of adjustable to Several heights on the vertical shaft. The steel clevis has a range of up-and-down adjustment, thus the forecarriage is suited to use with any size team. The clevis is so attached to the draft connection as to hold the whiffletrees off the ground and the horses heels. To give flexibility to the action of the fore- carriage, the vertical shaft is swiveled in the axle. Axle Bearings The axle bearings are dust proof and equipped with hard oilers. When given proper attention, bard oil is the best lubricant for this kind of bearing. Forcing the new grease m keeps the bearings clean. The stub axles are cast in the wheel bubs with the spoke. The inner ends of the axles are keyed with take-up washers to conpensate for wear. 1 he forecarriage with pole and pole plates for two horses is lurnisbed on special order, at slight additional cost.
